“With this new focus and the strength of our team, we can further innovate and accelerate our investment into our cloud-first security product portfolio to defend customers from cyber threats and attacks.”
“McAfee’s Enterprise business has been integral to ensuring the protection of the digital assets of the largest enterprises in the world, with over 85% of the Fortune 100 firms being customers today,” said William Chisholm, Managing Partner at STG. “Cybersecurity has never been so important and we’re committed to working with this team to create powerful solutions that give organizations better control of their security.”
The focus on enterprise cybersecurity is pivotal, as large organizations are facing increasingly sophisticated attacks and more evasive techniques with adversaries that are harder to spot with traditional security controls.
“We have always put our customers first and led the industry in creating solutions that help them overcome their security challenges,” said Lynne Doherty, executive vice president, global sales and marketing at McAfee Enterprise. “With an increased focus on the unique security needs and problems our customers face, now more than ever before we will prioritize our strategy, resources and investments to develop and deliver the solutions our enterprise, commercial and government customers need to keep their organizations secure.”
